Rust bindings to the Objective-C runtime and Apple frameworks (Foundation, AppKit, UIKit, Metal, etc.), enabling safe bi-directional interop between Rust and Objective-C. It also supports GNUStep and includes companion crates for blocks and Grand Central Dispatch.
Use cases
- call Objective-C APIs from Rust
- build macOS apps in Rust
- build iOS apps in Rust
- use AppKit or UIKit from Rust
- interoperate with Apple frameworks like Metal and WebKit
- wrap Objective-C libraries in Rust
When to choose
- writing Rust code that needs to call Apple system frameworks
- building native macOS/iOS applications in Rust
- you need safe, well-documented Objective-C interop with GNUStep support
When to avoid
- targeting platforms other than Apple (or GNUStep)
- you want a pure-Rust UI framework without Objective-C bindings
- your project is Swift or Objective-C native with no Rust involvement
